WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwire - June 4, 2010) - GOVERNING, the premier source for insight, analysis and detailed reporting on state and local government politics, policies and practices, has relaunched and expanded its content offerings at:
www.governing.com. The enhanced editorial coverage makes it easier for America's leaders to connect with a community of committed, engaged public-sector employees and experts.
GOVERNING.com's growth comes at a time when state and local governments face substantial revenue shortfalls and budget challenges. Issues in the areas of health-care reform, transportation, technology, energy and the environment, and social services will challenge lawmakers and officials for years to come.
"Public officials are working in a transformational time when it comes to running state and local government," said GOVERNING Editor Tod Newcombe. "The enriched website will give our leaders the kind of comprehensive intelligence they need to not only tackle today's problems but also prepare for tomorrow's unique opportunities when it comes to governing."
The biggest change readers will find are six blogs that will provide insight and analysis to key areas of state and local governance: Public Great; Better, Faster, Cheaper; Sunlight; FedWatch; View and Politics.
Readers will continue to access original reporting, analysis and news aggregation, in addition to favorites like "Daily Digit," a pithy fact of the day, and "Who Said That?" a daily quote addressing a state or local issue.
GOVERNING.com is part of GOVERNING, a multiplatform resource, providing award-winning journalism and insight in print, online and events. America's leaders have trusted GOVERNING for more than two decades with news, opinion and analysis on better policy and management for state and local officials.
GOVERNING is a division of e.Republic (
www.erepublic.com), the nation's leading publishing, research, event and new media company focused on the state and local government and education markets.
